WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans are finding little they like about President Barack Obama or either political party, according to a new poll that suggests the possibility of a "throw the bums out" mentality in next year's midterm elections.

The AP-GfK poll finds few people approve of the way the president is handling most major issues and most people say he's not decisive, strong, honest, reasonable or inspiring.

It should be dispersed - evacuated and embalmed permanently.

Never again should we allow politicians, media, lobbyists, hangers-on contractors and workers to congregate all in one spot. It is an effrontery to Gaia (for the greenies)and this nation.

Instead, functions and agencies of the government should be dispersed throughout the United States. Make those representing urban areas live and work in these cities prone to “knock out games” and “white girl bleed a lot.”

Make them work and live in blighted areas. Keep them sieged there where they cannot collude and conspire with their other cohorts.

For those that live in real America, make them stay home, even to the point of voting via teleconference - same thing with Committee Hearings....when grilling an enemy, make them travel along with the rest of the members to the Chairman’s district and have the trial, uh hearing, be conducted there.

In short, it does no good to centralize these people. It corrupts them, wears them down, and makes them lose sight of why they are there. Embalm it.

They never should have concentrated all of the departments in Washington DC. They should have spread them throughout the country.

"if these angry sentiments stretch into next year, the 2014 elections could feel much like the 2006 and 2010 midterms"

Isn't if funny how the chattering class declared that the shutdown would drive all Republicans from office in 2014 when it was universally agreed that the shutdown would be blamed totally on Republicans. Now that the 'Rats are taking heat, the word "if" suddenly sneaks into the dialog.

Online poll of hand picked participants that “belong to a group funded by GfK. Useless as are most polls. The new nbc/wsj poll of 1000 adults, 700 telephone contacts and 300 obamaphone contacts... bogus. Rasmussen also has obama’s approval at 51%. Do you believe that? nbc/wsj has him at 47%. ppp has him at 37%. Can all of these be correct?

Where is the question: Do you trust the press to tell the truth?
Somehow, no one is ever polled on that. The media has carried Obama’s water throughout this phony government “shut down.”

All the more reason to keep it shut down. Everybody hates it.

It does not fit the propaganda template. ALL media are corrupt... including faux news. The left bought Rasmussen... go to their site and look at their polling. Pure mslsd territory today.

NBC/WSJ poll is horribly skewed. 20% of respondents work for government! Only 8% of population works for government (I say “only” with tongue firmly in cheek). It’s a leftist poll intentionally designed to get leftist responses. WSJ should be ashamed to work with NBC on such garbage.
